The end result of the actions required for me to accomplish such a thing I feel is best summed up as “World Peace through Non-Violence.

I have been blessed with a great many friends and mentors in my life that each have contributed to the answers for that challenge. Some I have had the honor to know personally, most from afar. One such friend and mentor is Jay Winter Nightwolf, www.jaywinternightwolf.com an Echota Cherokee man in Maryland who works so very hard for the people both on a day to day bases and through his radio show on wpfw in Washington DC.

Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen if you will only speak.

Be tolerant of those who are lost on their paths. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy, and greed stem from lost souls. Pray that they will find guidance.

Search for yourself by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best beds, and treat them with respect and honor.

Do not take what is not yours, whether from a person, a community, the wilderness, or from a culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.

Respect all things that are placed upon this earth, whether people, animal, or plant. Honor the Spirit in all things.

Honor other people’s thoughts, wishes, and words. Never interrupt another, mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.

Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you. All people make mistakes, and all mistakes can be forgiven. Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body, and spirit. Practice optimism.

Nature is not for us, it is a part of us. Nature is part of your worldly family.

Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life’s lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.

Avoid hurting the hearts of others. The poison of your pain will return to you.

Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the test of one’s will within this universe.

Keep yourself balanced. Your mental self, spiritual self, emotional self, and physical self all need to be strong, pure, and healthy. Work out the body to strengthen the mind. Grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.

Make conscious decisions as to who you will be and how you will react. Be responsible for your own actions.

Respect the privacy and personal space of others. Do not touch the personal property of others, especially sacred and religious objects–this is forbidden.

Be true to yourself. You cannot nurture and help others if you cannot nurture and help yourself first.

I am left cold to the fact that in America such “Hurray for me the hell with you” folks have such an overpowering influence on the public discourse with no accountability or transparency to the fact that this is the top 5% “haves” mouthpiece using the “commons” (our public airwaves and infrastructure to attempt to crush the 95% “have nots” into complete destitution. They do this by attempting to control the policy making structure starting with the Town Clerk to the President, Military and Civil Servants of We the People.

The most sacred, important and vital part of our Republic is the security of our elections. Along with the bourgeoning prison populations in which the voter of this nation is lost, the illegal interference by 5 members of the US Supreme court in suspending elections in florida, thus a coup d’état, the electronic voting irregularities and unverifiability and now a spoken effort to push aside the poor.

This effort is sumed up below in the next clip on a speach given by Paul Weyrich the founder of the Heritage Foundation that is dedicated to destroying America by eliminating “Good Government” or the Goo-Goo affect.

Well we are now destitute as a nation because of these sentiments that move people to some false sense of rightous indignation against there neighbors and friends. The sad truth is we fall sway to the “Those People” conversations and a state of disregard to the Constitution which is about Justice for all. Social, Civil, Economic, Environmental and Criminal Justice or we might best recognize these civil society requirments as “fair play”.

When we buy into and act upon such retoric Paul Weyrich, Neal Boortz and others espouse, which is really nothing but hate speach ,the end result is we all get dragged down. Presently America is like a football game being played without the rule book, the end result is a Hatchett fight. Our rule book is the Constitution of the United States of America, the Supreme Law of the Land. It is for me an “all for one and one for all” cooperative of compassion and community.

Ignoring “Single Payer” health care is ignorant and a sure fire path to irrelevance. In case you haven’t payed attention we see you and who you’re real constituency is comprised of, (dare I say it) Corporations, Special Interests, (and oh that word) Lobbyists (you know the folks that grease your palms with ill gotten gains at our children’s expense).

Don’t believe me, Max, well take a look at what is going on in plain sight.

No middle man (Insurance Companies) which means a $0.25 to $0.32 savings on every dollar.

No money for huge salaries, special millions of dollars of bonus compensations to selfish CEO’s and upper management staff that got big but never grew up and their Wall Street shareholders trading on the health misery of 10’s of millions of human beings.

Begs the question. Why do we need Wall Street?

Over 60% of Americans want a national Single Payer government run health care system.

Over 60% of Physicians nationwide want a Single Payer health care program.

Over 60% of Americans are now EXCLUDED from the conversation.

Are We the People Represented? I don’t think so. Not a good move Max and Corporate Buddies.

Physicians for National Health Program http://www.pnhp.org has over 16,000 members and are members of a larger organization called:
